ITEM#: 80004948

The Silhouette Cameo is an electronic cutting machine that is great for light-duty, creative use. Just like a home printer, it plugs directly into your PC or Mac with a USB cable, but instead of printing, it uses a small blade to cut a variety of pre-designed die-cuttable materials such as paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric, and more. The cutter will accommodate materials up to 12 inches wide and 10 feet long in dimension, allowing you to engage and complete any die-cut project imaginable.

I love the Silhouette Cameo machine. It cuts clean and sharp images. In addition, the Design Studio Software allows users to capture shapes from other sources, like the internet, and create your own shapes to cut.
The ** gift card allowed me to purchase lots and lots of images to add to my cutting library.

The Silhouette is, in my opinion, the best crafting tool ever made. I use it to cut cardstock for cards, heat transfer for t-shirts, fabric for sewing projects, vinyl for crafting home decor, contact paper for making my own stencils, and now stamps to create my very own personalized stamps. Purchase the software to fully customize your own designs and use all the fonts on your PC. Love it! Best investment in crafting. Be careful - your friends and family will be visiting to use your Silhouette!

I got this for my wife as a gift, and she LOVES it!!!! She has her own craft room, and I always get her some sort of crafting machine for a gift because they allow her to enjoy her creative side. This is by far the best one she has. It's way more versatile, and user friendly then the Cricut that she has been using. The software that comes with it is easy to use, and she was up and crafting within a few minutes. The digital store allows you to only buy the images you need at $ a piece, which is so much more cost effective than paying $$ for a cartridge that has a lot of images that will never be used. The software accounts for pretty much every type of paper, and size which is a huge plus, and it even tells you what the blade depth settings should be for each. If your buying this as a gift, I highly recommend getting one of the four different starter kits that they sell. For the non crafty person like myself, this is basically a printer that cuts shapes instead of using ink. The things you can do with it if you are crafty are limitless!!!!

I have been using this machine for a couple of weeks now and I am so happy with it. I'm glad I purchased this instead of the ones where u can only cut from cartridges. I have dipped my toes into drawing and cutting from my own creations. I would hate to have to try to explain this to a computer illiterate person.
Downside. Not a lot of help in the quick start guide. No real trouble shooting assistance. I watched some basic YouTube videos to get the idea of the settings that would work best. My blade was acting up at one point and I couldn't figure it out... A video suggested that maybe the little white housing at the tip was loose... Yes. It was slightly unscrewed leading the blade to go wonky at places. I highly recommend the product but know you're best off educating yourself in its operation and tricks from others in the Internet. Vast wealth of ideas and info on YouTube. Second bonus tip: buy a spare blade and mat. If or when these need replacing you are unlikely to want to wait for shipping to use your machine again. I cannot find any silhouette materials in stores in my area (except for vinyl , limited selection).

I am an owner of a Cricut Expression along with multiple cartridges. Those carts are expensive and I found them to be repetitive. The Silhouette Cameo allows you to purchase images one at a time for a very modest fee. (Watch out for half price sales too!) You get to keep these on your computer, unlike the Cricut digital images. The Silhouette Online Store has thousands of images and every week offers a free download. This is yours to keep, not just "borrow" for a week like Cricut. The shapes are downloaded to your computer and are available for you to use even without an internet connection (Cricut only allows you to access their digital images via Cricut Craft Room when you are connected to the internet, although the physical cartridges may be used without a computer.) The Cameo also has a slot for an SD card, so you can save your work from Silhouette Studio software to the card and take it with you when you don't have computer access. (You can't design without the Studio software but this allows you to take pre-designed cuts to a crop, for example.)
The Mega Bundle is a great deal and will get you off to a good start. There is a bit of a learning curve with the software but I find it very similar to software packages like Cricut Craft Room and Photoshop Elements. Look to YouTube for instructional videos-those will get you up and running in no time. If you are ready to work with images that are not in the Online Store, invest in the software upgrade to the Studio Designer Edition (Shop around. This can be found cheaper than list price. )
The Cameo cleanly cuts intricate designs. There are some very sophisticated shapes available, from big-name designers, no less. I would recommend purchasing a couple extra mats and an extra blade because their supplies aren't as readily available in my local stores. Note that if you already have a Cricut, those mats will work with the Silhouette with a slight adjustment to paper placement if you are using the full sheet of paper. (Not even an issue with just a small cut here or there.) Also the Cricut vinyl, which is Oracal 631, can also be used with the Silhouette, so you can purchase whatever is available in your local stores. The Cricut tools work with the Cameo so no need to buy another set of them, although I highly recommend the pickup tool.
The Cameo also allows you to print and cut when connected to your printer. The Cameo sends the info to the printer to print an image along with registration marks, then you send it thru the Cameo to cut. You can also cut out any font on your computer. For example, I searched for a free font similar to the one used for the word "Bazinga!" from the Big Bang Theory. Downloaded it to my computer and was able to use it in the Cameo to make a great card. Easy Peasy!
Will I be getting rid of my Cricut? Not yet. There are still some cuts I really like and it is great to pop in a cartridge and cut something on the fly. But for versatility and customization, along with intricate cuts, the Cameo is the way to go.

I got this machine a few week ago and wanted to wait until I used it a few times to write a review. I LOVE it! I purchased a few extra tools that helped with the removal from the cutting mat a little easier, as the mats are pretty sticky to keep the paper in place while cutting.
I would certainly recommend this product to any crafter that wants to branch out into a more extensive and detailed paper and vinyl (along with a plethora of other materials) designs and styles.

Out of the box, the Cameo fired right up, cutting out the test pieces on vinyl stickers in a flash. Had a slight issue with the lack of a cutting mat, quickly resolved by Customer Service. Cutting paperstock on the mat proved as easy as the vinyl.
Make sure you load the stock square along the lines (most difficult part) and the rest takes care of itself.
Tested vinyl and cardstock, works well in creating window stickers out of vinyl and snowflake decorations out of cardstock. Had a few issues (user error) loading the vinyl the first few times crooked, which lead to crooked cuts. Take your time loading the pieces in, and no problems after.

Before purchasing this item, I would like to know whether the software that comes with the machine is compatible with windows 8. Some responses that I have received say yes and some say no. I would like to know if this particular bundle includes software compatible with my computer

This may sounds silly, but this is the actual machine right? not just die cuts or something? and is it new or used? My sister really wants this for Christmas and I was going to buy it on their website but you have it for much cheaper! I just want to make sure I am covering all my bases! Thank you!!

Hello, maisonvictoria. Hope your day is going well. We appreciate your patience. Unfortunately, research has not turned up any information on this item's ablility to cut 3m adhesive backing---we apologize. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.

I would imagine it would cut your adhesive backing but the adhesive will foul the blade and require clean out and replacement routinely. The tape couldn't be any worse than adhesive back vinyl which is why many users buy this machine. The blades for this machine aren't cheap though so beware.

Hello, maisonvictoria. Hope your day is going well. We apologize for the length of time it took to research this information. This item can cut adhesive tape. We appreciate your patronage---feel free to contact us again with any further questions.

We are Wedding Card Dealers, Can we make personalised wedding card (i.e., micky mouse or bride groom photo die cut) Is it a heavy duty machine can we cut 100 invitations of the same design, I want to know the production cost, How many cuts we can do with one blade, and the blade cost, pls give the complete specifications with maintenance cost?

Hello vivaaha,
Yes there are downloads for mickey mouse. The blades for the Silhouette can last up to 6 months. This, however, is an estimation only. The actual blade life will be dependent on usage and the type of material being cut. Please note that thicker materials will wear down the blade much more quickly.
Thank you for shopping with us!

I currently own a Shilhouette SD. If I buy the Cameo, will I be able to use all the designs I currently own for my SD? Will i need to 'dump' my current software so as to install the Cameo software? Will I lose anything in the switch? Thanks.

Thank you for your interest in the Silhouette Cameo Mega Bundle Die Cutting Machine with Bonus $25 Gift Card. All though we are here to answer questions we are just general help in this. This type of question requires a professional in the area of this software. The manufacturer is a good place to start or a computer place is second. Sorry for the inconvenience and hope you have a great day.

Hello- I have researched the product and unfortunately, the item does not include an upgrade. I have requested the image update and apologize for the confusion. Thank you for shopping with Overstock.com!

Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, other than the one design shown in the photo, a picture or description of these designs is unavailable. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
